I think it becomes interesting when you generate a personality. It
doesn't have to be anything complicated, but maybe guard #1 is a
belligerent thug, while guard #2 that replaces him is a shaking coward.
Maybe guard #1 is a swordsman, while guard #2 prefers his two-handed
axe. Things can get interesting with just a little random
generation/selection of personalities, chat messages, and equipment.
